"My son is just an example of hundreds thousands of African-Americans and especially African-American men who have had to go through this issue. It has become a rites of passage to be detained and illegally potentially held by MPD," said Taylor.

Senator Taylor said she plans to file a formal complaint with the Fire and Police Commission.

Milwaukee Police sent CBS 58 this statement:

“After the media brought Senator Taylor’s concern to the attention of the Milwaukee Police Department, we reviewed the body worn camera footage of the field interview of Senator Taylor’s teenage son. The officers were conducting a targeted deployment to address robberies in the area of the field interview. MPD reached out to Senator Taylor and discussed the circumstances surrounding the officer’s lawful field interview.”
